On the Roth and Ruckenstein equations for the Guruswami-Sudan algorithm

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In 2000 Roth and Ruckenstein proposed an Extended Key Equation for solving the interpolation step in the Sudan decoding algorithm. Generalizing their idea, a sequence of key equations for the Guruswami-Sudan (GS) algorithm, which is able to list decode a Reed-Solomon code with arbitrary rate, is derived. This extension allows a reduction of the number of equations and therefore a reduction of the algorithm's complexity. Furthermore, we indicate how to adapt the Fundamental Iterative Algorithm for block Hankel matrices and thus solving the GS-interpolation step efficiently.
